Avid Juicy 7's....no modulation!!

bought some new brakes for the bike and they work very well,very little effort to make them lock up but.....i cant stand that.my old brakes were vwery cheap hope monos which actually had a decent amount of modulation,infact it was almost hard to get the wheel to lock up.

on the new brakes it has that fancy adjuster at top but that just seems to be handle placement more than anything.

The red knob adjusts the point in the lever pull that the pads contact the rotor. There is a separate adjust screw for lever placement.

Play with the contact point adjust some (it turns about 25 times so give it some tweaks) and find the point that works with you. By default, the pads hit the rotor almost immediately when the lever is pulled (which makes it hard for me to modulate them).
